The draw for the 2025-2026 Coupe de France quarter-finals was conducted on February 5, 2026, revealing an exciting lineup of fixtures and setting the stage for a competitive final phase of the tournament. Seven Ligue 1 teams have advanced, alongside one Ligue 2 team, Stade de Reims, who will face RC Strasbourg Alsace, the only other team outside Ligue 1 left in the competition.

The quarter-final matchups are as follows: Stade de Reims vs. RC Strasbourg Alsace; FC Lorient vs. OGC Nice; Olympique de Marseille (OM) vs. Toulouse FC; and Olympique Lyonnais (OL) vs. RC Lens. These matches are scheduled to take place on March 3 and 4, 2026.

Following the quarter-finals, the semi-finals will be held on April 22, with the final slated for May 23, 2026. However, the date and venue for the final remain uncertain due to infrastructure work linked to the Grand Paris project, which may affect transportation logistics.

The presence of seven Ligue 1 teams, including big names like OM, OL, Nice, Lens, Lorient, Toulouse, and Strasbourg, promises thrilling encounters, especially the highlighted clash between Olympique Lyonnais and RC Lens.
